Autumn Rising

I decided to change the header for the blog; it may be a seasonal thing. Thus far each header image has been linked to the Rideau Canal. When I first started, this view from the Bank Street Bridge was my header.

I switched over to a winter image on the other side of the bridge, looking at skaters on the Canal, passing by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.

In the spring, I shifted further west, to where the Canal widens into Dow's Lake. This has been my most recent header image.

Fall's coming, however (and it certainly felt fall-like yesterday), so I've decided to go with a new header. This shot from last autumn fits the bill rather nicely, also down at Dow's Lake.

@Oakland: I hadn't meant to actually go with a theme, but thus far, the headers have all been linked to the Canal in one way or another. I'll see when winter comes what I feel like.

@Cloudia: fall is lovely.

@Stuart: we already started seeing some fall colours here in the last week of August.

@Lynette: thank you.

@Marleen: so do I.

@Jan: I'm sure you'll come up with something.

@Marianne: it certainly does.

@Country Gal: well, we do tend to get colder faster here, but not that much faster than you. I think I took the shot for the header in September or early October of last year. And some trees get their colours faster than others.

I have enjoyed your header photos very much, and this latest one with the fall colors. Our trees are showing signs of Autumn. The deck out back is covered with leaves. The broom is coming out this morning and I will be sweeping as more leaves fall.
